Custodial Services

The goal is to provide an environment in which the students, faculty, and staff are inspired to achieve their goals and to make Rice University a world-class institution for learning and research.

There are two custodial shifts; 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and evenings 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. For after-hours assistance please call the Facilities Service Center at 713-348-2485 and follow the prompts.
